A waxing crescent is anywhere after New Moon but before First Quarter Moon. "Waxing" means getting bigger, "crescent" means a sliver that's less than half. "Gibbous" is anything AFTER half but less than full OR after full yet more than half.
About a week after the full moon, the moon is called the last quarter moon and it's "face" appears to be half lit. More than half lit is a gibbous and less than half lit is a crescent.

Those shapes, and the corresponding phases, are called "crescents" ... when the lighted part that we see is less than half of a full disk.
It is called a crescent, and if it is growing, it's called a waxing crescent, otherwise, it's a waning crescent. So, when less than half is facing the earth, it is called a Waning Cresent

"Gibbous" . . . less than full but more than half illuminated.
